ger, was instantly killed, and his fire.
man, name not learned, had both arms
broken. John Hilrey, engineer of the
single locomotive, was fatally injured.
Both engines were completely demolished
and the track torn up some distance. An
attempt was made to wreck south bound
passenger train on the Chicago, Kansas q
Nebraska Road at Sanford, station six
miles east Of Topeka, Kan. Asthe train
was coming around a curve, at the rate Of
thirty miles an hour, the engineer saw
that the switch was open. He put on his
brakes and reversed his engine, called to
his fireman to follow him, and jumped
from the cab. The engine ran into some
empty cars that were standing on the
track, and while smashing them was it
self completely wrecked. No lives were
lost and none Of the passengers were ia-
jured. An examination of the open
switch showed that it had been broken
and turned with the evident intention Of
wrecking the train. The purchase of the
controlling interest in the Georgia Cen
tral has proven rather an onerous burden
to the new owners. The syndicate which
began buying against the Raoul party not
only paid good round price for what
they secured, but they paid Mrs. Hetty
Green handsome bonus for the block
that she held, with which rested the bal
ance Of power. They were unable for
some time to provide for carrying it, as
the amount required was disproportionate
to the earning capacity of the stock, par.
ticularly since the Savannah, Dublin and
Western competition has to be met very
soon. The stock must pay five per cent.
at least, in order to meet the interest Of
the bonds, and until it pays more, then
the working capital must be drawn upon
for all expenses. One per cent. on the
capital stock Of the company would call
for s120, 900, so that it is apparent that
no dividend can be possible until the
Georgia Central Road pays more than
eight per cent.

A DEATH TRAP.
Two Negro ell-Digxers Are 'sufrecated By
Poisonous Gasses.

Lewis and Jack Bates, two negro
brothers, met horrible deaths while
cleaning out q well on Simon Taylor's
place, three miles north Of Greensboro,
Ala. Lewis, while digging in the well,
suddenly cried out to bis brother, then
at the windlass, to draw him up, ex-
claiming in gurgling voice: II am
chokin', chokin'; ] am dyin', dyin'."
Jack and others began at once to haul
him from this well, but when half way
out his hold gave way, owing to his
weakness caused by suffocation, and he
fell back 10 the bottom, dying with
groanings and stified mutteTings. Jack,
alarmed, rapidly descended into the well
to rescue his brother, and when he
reached the gas, he likewise met the
horriIee death Of being choked by the
deathly gas. The other laborers working
at and near the well, became 50 terribly
frightened that they ran away, leaving
the corpses Of the two brothers piled to-
gcther in q gaseous and partly watery
grave. After some hours the bodies
were dragged from the well by means Of
iron hooks, aud the scene as presented
was horrible beyond description. The
eycballs Of the men had nearly burst
| from their sockets. Both bodies were
swelled almost beyond recognition. Ex-
pressions Of awful suffering was pictured
upou both faces. The muscles we're
badly drawn, and all in all, the corpses
were q sight most horrible to look at.
Both negroes were speedily buried and
yariou, are the conjectInes Of supersti-
tiou, people as to the cause Of the sud-
den aud mysterious killing Of the

AFFECTING INCIDENT.
As the President and Mrs. Cleveland
came out of the White House one even
ing, and were entering their carriage to

walked from Pittsburg, distance of 300
miles, to see the President. The Presi-
dent turned to the little fellow, shook
him warmly by the hand, and after COM

carriage. Herbert was ten years old, and

use to describe the condition this
Sunday evening.
The scene in Trafalgar square
to-day has not been equaled since
1866. when the people, asserting
the right of public meeting, de-
stroyed the railways around Hyde
Park.
-Four MonsaaA policemen took
possession of the approaches to
Trafalgar square at an early hour.
They had been on the ground but
a short time when various socie-
ties-Socialist. radical and Irish
approached the square from every
direction. The paraders were
headed by bands of music, and
they carried banners and notices.
The police attacked and dispersed
each group as it arrived near the
square. Fierce fights took place
on the Strand. Northumberland,
avenue, Whitehall. Pail Mall and
other adjacent streets. One of
the societies succeeded in enter
ing the square. but was repulsed
after a bloody fight. in which
Commoner Graham was seriously
injured. Graham was subsequent
ly arrested for attacking the po-
lice.
At 4:3o p. m. the crowd in the
vicinity of the square numbered
100000 and the police were pow
erless to thoroughly disperse
them. Cavalry and infantry were
summoned to the assistance of the
police but no charge was made, as
the people of their own accord
began to disperse at dusk. About
